The South American ars trumped up t story this morning of an 'expedition from the Iluvannah against Mexico. By what route it is to proceed to that capital has not been stated. Ad vices from Mexico, to the 2d of February, were received on Saturday. They state, that, eontrary.lo general.expectation, much opposition had been made by the Government to the altera tions proposed by Mr". CANNING in:the Mexican treaty,-which was carried back 'hy Mr. MORIER. This opposition has assumed so decided a cha racter, that Mr. Waan made preparations for returning to England, and even sent off a portiOn of his baggage to the coast, to be placed on- board his Majesty's ship Vigilant. In this state of - things, however, R wish was expressed by the Go vernment to enter again, into a negotiation, the reSulrof which had not transpired when the pre: sent advices left Mexico. It was gene.rally sup.: Posed that if Mr. Morier remains firm, he will in the end carry his point. The subject in dispute is believed in Mexico to be the right of search, and the determining what, shall pr shall not con stitute a Mexican vessel. It is further said, that the right of search had been given upon making ,the„ first treaty, ,but that Mr. Canning would not ratify it with that article as a part of it. The American Minister in Mexico was believed to be te:iug great •exeition, 'to induce the Mexican Go vernment to remain firm on the point at issue, groat jealousy being entertained by the Nmeri eons :it the superior influence of the English. A. report of the Mexican financeis has been publish ed by Esteva, the Minister of Finance, in which lie calculates that at the end of the year 1826 . '7•there Will be a surplus of 992,500 dollars of re= 'lRipt over expenditure.

The liesitatiOn of the Mexican .:Goternmot has paralyzed the operations in South American Securities generally, though Mexican and Colom bian, are most affected. The tardiness in advertising the payment of certain dividends adds to the pressure on the Foreign Market, and it may yet happen, that the eyes of the public will,at last, be opened to the very p.ricarious nature of South American obligaticons.

REPRESENTATION OF NORTHUMBERLA N NEWCASTLE•UPON-TYNE, APRIL I.—The most ' strenuous exertions are still carrying forward, with a view to the representation of Northumberland at the General Election. Though all are active in their canvass, the lead unquestiOnably seems to be taken by THOMAS WENTWORTH BEAUMONT, Esq., one of the present Members.. Dtiring the last tight days he has been truly indefatigable in various parts of the county. At all places his reception has been highly gratifying,—such, in fact, as to leave no doubt of his re-election. This may be ascribed as well to the engaging amenity of his manners, as to the excellent cause he is supporting—the Independence of the County against the Cabal of a certain Whig - Junto, who have set themselves up as Dictators! The fine philanthropic, manly tone that pervades his several Addresses to the Free holders is much admired. In one of, the last, dated Berwick, .5h . p .. , the Honourable Gentleman observes— " While the sufferings of others were imperfectly under. stood, and before education bad spread a general knowledge. that wealth and po wer were not g i ven for the advantage of the few, but in order that they might be the channels through all parts of the earth, we remained satisfied in the possession of exclusive privileges, and we allowed them to others; but at present the rights of all men are better understood, and I sin cerely hope that England will be the first to set the example of a nation whose conduct unequivocally declares that she consi ders her priviletres her wealth 4 and her power, to be held for th- 2 public good, arid that she does not regret any sacrifice when required for the genertrl welfare." This day week Mr. BtAustoter was drawn into Ainwick by a considerable body of men, wearing , white cockades. pre. ceded by a white banner, bearing " BEAUMONT AND INDE. PENDENCE." At the star Inn the Honourable Uertieman, amidst great cheering, rose in the carriage, and riddrcs:d the multitude as follows " Gentlemen-LI have to - thank you for yOUr very kind recep tion of me, and to inform you that it is my intention imme. diately to canvass. I commence my canvass in this _place under very ,disadvantageous circumstances, the-other candidates hay. ing, during their canvass, for the late election taken the oppor. tunity of roiicitmg votes for the general election. l'hey .have thus taco the field before me, but I do not grudge them a single vote, for in those part of the country where I have can vassed,.my success has been as good as I could possibly wish for, indeed greater tin I enpected, and I know that at the close of the contest I shall be where independence ought to be, at the head of the poll." In the afternoon, at the door of every public-house engaged by Mr. Beaumont, and which amount to 14 or 15, halt a barrel of ale was distributed to the populace. Within the last four or five days Mr. B. has visited New. biggin, . Blyth, North and South Shields, Sunderland, &e, To-day the lion. Gentleman wits in the Corn-market here, paying his respects to the freeholders, accompanied by a large body of friends. Every thing presages the most complete success. As may be supposed, at such a crisis, a hot paper war is carrying on; and one or two striking caricatures have appeared. Beaumont and Liddell still continue the favourites. It is quite apparent, however, that Mr. Bell's friends are most strenuous in their exertions. The political friends of Lord Howick, anxious to shew their devotion to the house of Grey, have publicly announced that a grand dinner will be given to his Lordship (Howick) at the Assembly-rooms, in this town, on Tuesday, the 11 th instant. It is reported that a celebrated singer has lost 8,0001. by dabbling in „the late speculations. It was certainly a foolish crotchet. The bubble on . this occasion was pr oduced b y whi pp in g u p the W e stminster Dairy milk into froth, in hopes of procuring cream ; but, alas ! it turned out to be sky.bhte. A shy-lark would have been morel() the purpose, as the parties could at least have exchanged notes. We fear the song must now he Water parted from the pail.' Miss PATON'S teMpOrary retirement from the stage has been owing to the sudden appearance of a young sweet William in the Richmond Gardens. The opinion of the Lawyers on the Assessed TaKes may he seen from the way they are men dolled in all law deeds. " And it is hereby agreed that the said A. B. shall pay and dis charge Lathe poor-rates, sewer-rates, and all the assessed tuxes and other parochial impositions whatsoever.'—Vide a Lease. It is said the present Pope is most abstemious in Iris public dinners. But his private—' Aye, there's the rub.' We should' guess from his nu merous bulls that he is. fond of beef, and have no doubt that he has a ' Pope's eye' mutton. for a joint of COLONIAL TRADE LAWS OF CANADA. An extract from the Canadian Courant, given in our Paper or last Saturday, seems to express the general opinion of the Canadian merchants that an alteration of the laws regulating the trade between Canada and the United States is highly desirable. Our readers are no doubt aware that the Act of 6 Geo. IY., c. 114, is the Act which regulates this trade, and that it was framed upon those principles of free trade which have been so warmly and so successfully advocated by a part of tiffs MAJESTY'S Government. By this Act, Quebec is constituted a free pore for general importation and exportation, and consequently goods, the produce of the United States, are admitted to entry at that port, whether they come by sea or inland carriage or navigation. On importation, however, a duty is payable to the Colony in most cases. of 71 per cent. ad valorem. A very few articles are entirely prohibited or restricted' to British ports, but beef and pork are amongst them. By the Act 6 Geo. I V., c. 109, goods, the produce of the Ul.tted States, may be im parted into England, either in British or Ameri, can vessels, direct from the place of production, or they may come in British vessels from Canada. Such is the state of : the law regarding the trade of Canada with the United ,States, and after wards with this country. The amendment the Canadian merchants seek to introduce is, to use their own words—" To authorize- the produce of the United States, paractilarly' bulky commodi ties, such as timber and, lumber, .and all kinds of pot and pearl-ashes, salted provisions, &c., to be brought clown the St. Ltwren,:e, and bhipped from Canada in British vessels, upon the same footing ac similar articles ofCatiadian origin." The effect of this alteration will be to allow the importation of beef and pork from the United States, whi• is under the existing law is only per mitted from the United Kingdom in British yes sels, and the giving of a drawback equal 'to the duty on American produce, shipped for expor tation from Canadian ports. • The advantages proposed to he derived from this alteration, are the amount of freight that will be earned by British shipping, Sce., and various other charges incident to the conveyance, sale, and trans-ship. most of this produce. The perthission to import beef and pork is said to be necessary, 'because the Celony is," confessedly unable to furnish a sufficient supply for its own consumption." We must at once confess the results expected to us problematicaj, and besides that we are disposed to look with a jealous eye on any titer alteration of the navigation system of this country, not so much from any fear as to the con sequences of this or that particular amendment, but because we think that a steady and uniform perseverance in the, line of commercial policy once laid down, is the only chance it has of old mate success. That can hardly . be called a sys tem which is constantly shifting, and endeavour ing upon every occasion to meet particular inte rests, and if a system is deemed desirable it should at all times, whether right or wrong, be firmly adhered to. In Most cases, indeed, any system, not exactly outraging - the first principles of trade, would by this perseverance work itself right ; for cosntnerce will accommodate itself to circumstances as far 'es it possibly can.— It is to this perseverance,, As molds as to the real soundness of the Ancient Eng lish Navigation Laws, that their great and trnoscetsdant success is attributable. For a great length of time' they were considered by the best Statesmen of the day inviolable. Their princi ples were then said to be .founded on the soundest doctrines . of political economy, and the restraints imposed by' thorn upon trade were looked upon in no. other 'light than as necessary adjuncts, to form, and afterwards to preserve the Maritime ascendancy of these Kingdoms. - How well the system acted, and how admirably calcu lated it was to the end proposed is now manifest ed by the state of the Royal and Merchant Navies of these Kingdoms, and although the abandonment of the laws under which these glorious advantages were gainr.d s was a bold and hazardous - step, we should- be sorry to see this free trade system impugned, by any want of consistency and perseverance in the very outset of the experiment. Present gains we all know, are strong temptations, and it is, we think when under the operation of these ideas, that the Canadian merchants have presented the novel spectacle of a people asking for foreign produce, t o be, placed on the same footing as their own. The freight to Ite earned by British s hipping, inconsequence of the prop o s e d a lt e ration, is delusive, because, if timber, lumber, 80.4 Wanted by British ships, they can proceed ,to Arnerican ports without much trouble and take there on board. Ai to the gains of the Canadas, by the employment of hands in shipping and transhiPping United .States produce for exportation, that alone is hardly a sufficient reason for making Canada an exception to a general law ; because, the low amount of duty paid on importation into Canada, cannot so greatly increase 'the charge, on a par• ticular commodity, as to offer a sufficient ad vantage for an infraction of the ge nera l coin . mercial system. To remove the duty, or allow a drawback, would be to take away the bouoty incidentally given to manufacturers. n ative growers and native 4 A s t o beef and pork, and salted provisions, the Colonists may remain satisfied ; for however unable they may be to furnish the necessary supply, Ireland can lend them a h e lpi ng hand. The trade in these articles is indeed con. fined to the British ports, but after having been freed froM the heavy restrictions of the old law, they can scarcely complain that the Mother Country, in the exercise of her discretion, tuts thought it right, for the - sake of an important branch of the United K ingdom, to retain in her - own hands, out of the immense number of com modities which form the.aubject of commerce, the monopoly of the trade to Canada in these with 13 Other ankles only.

Friday, this interesting match which for some months has excited the attention of ail the sporting classes, and on which more money has been betted than on any similar event for many years, was decided at Alelton Mowbray. The match was between Lord Kennedy and Captain Ross, to ride from , Earkhy Holt to Billesdon (oplow (two covers in the Quorndon Hunt) a distance of five miles, as the crow flies; Captain Ross to ride for himself, and Captain Douglas for his Lord ship. The betting on the match has been at evens, though in some instances ,six to five have been laid on Captain Ross. At an early hour on Friday morning, a nu. merous concourse of sportsmen, including all the mem. bens of the different Hunt's about Melton Mowbray, were ' at Barkby , Holt, to witness the start ; and a neck and neck race ' was anticipated by those who knew the qua lities of the horses and their riders, but that expectation was completely disappointed. At a signal given by the umpires, the parties started, at a terrible slashing pace, Captain R. lead. ing ; at the first fence In his route ' Captain Douglas made a leap, but his horse not clearing it, fell;. nothing daunted, he again dashed at the fence, but a second time fell, and this de cided the race at once—he was seen no more in it. Captain 'Ross, on the contrary, made a straight forward course across the country, to the winning point, and having it all his own way, cleared his leaps, and won, of course, without a struggle. The result disappointed hundreds. Immense sums are lost on the occasion. HUNTING INTELIAGENCE.

To PA 11 ENTS.—A lady walking on Friday, about noon, near York-gate, leading into the Regent's-park, her attention was attracted by the loud screams of an interesting-looking little girl, apparently about 5 years old, w hum a maid-servant was using in a very harsh manner, threatening and shaking her violently. The maid, observing she was noticed, in an insulting manner said to the lady, who had riot uttered a word, " She hoped she was amused ;" in reply to which she expressed her regret at seeing the poor child so harshly treated, and asked the child her name end place of residence; but this, except her Chris tiap name, Emma, (or some name like that,) she was prevented from telling by the threats and severe slaps of the maid. The child was dressed in morning, with a gray beaver hat, trimmed with black crape, white trousers, and a gray cloth pelisse. The maid was a tall dark good looking woman, in mourning. Should this meet the eyes of the child's parents, and they wish for further information, they may obtain it on applying at Mr. Booth's, bookseller, Duke street, Portland-place.
